Massage Pathology Chronicles

I did have one recent experience while interning.  I treated an 80 year old woman who had Alzheimer’s. Her 45 year old daughter brought her in and they both had massages.  I was lucky enough to treat the 80 year old.  She was quite nice, and hard of hearing.  She had never had a massage so I was always trying to explain to her what I was going to do before I did it.  Unfortunately for the client in the next room, I had to speak quite loudly to my client (louder than I normally would in the environment).   I had to help my client get dressed and put on her shoes, which I gladly did.  Her daughter was quite thankful that I was so kind to her mother.  She was very generous with her gratuity.  The end
